Just had the most incredible stay at the Ivy Hotel and I can't help but express my gratitude. Nicky and Anthony in the restaurant went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. Big shoutout to Jannell and Calvin, the concierges, for there exceptional service and delightful conversations. Preston, our driver, was absolutely wonderful too! The entire team made us feel like family from the moment we arrived. And meeting the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Brown, was definitely a highlight! Already counting down the days until our next visit in August. Thank you, Ivy Hotel, for an unforgettable experience!

Hotel's Favorite
A memorable birthday weekend for my husband at Baltimore’s Ivy Hotel. Impeccable service, beautiful property and so much attention to detail. It felt like a trip back in time as the property has been so beautifully renovated (not built by but at some point belonging to the Bobcat inventor, William Painter). We got there just in time for a wonderfully relaxing tea service where they featured teas from a local entrepreneur (Equitea). The teas are so wonderful - not a surprise that this company got picked up for the Goop umbrella. The dinner, out in the patio, at the Magdalena was also lovely. I liked the appetizers (chilled asparagus soup and a rockfish avocado ceviche, better than my main though (grilled rockfish. My husband on the other hand, polished off everything I couldn’t finish :) so I was probably just full. The spa was also fabulous. I really appreciated the attention to detail from my masseuse, Raquel. Lastly, can’t leave without saying a thank you to every single person we interacted with, from Rob Arthur, the GM, to Amanda and Nicky at the meal services, Joshua, Harrison (and the night manager, who’s name I didn’t catch) at the front desk and the valet team. We’d come back, in a heartbeat.

This was a lovely place to spend a short getaway weekend. The hotel is beautiful and the service is impeccable. We felt truly pampered every step of the way. All staff were wonderful but Calvin’s charm was above and beyond. Dinner at Magdalena’s was delicious and relaxing. We are already planning our next escape to the The Ivy.

Our girls midweek break at the Ivy Hotel was relaxing and fun. The service is next level. Attentive and unintrusive and warm. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. The food is outstanding. The spa is a vacation in and of itself. Best French fries in Maryland and that is not an exaggeration. Will definitely return. #BlackOwned

The Ivy is by far the most elegant and well run hotel in Baltimore. Set in a beautiful mansion on a quiet street —one is treated to spectacular rooms (book # 13), a superb staff and a fantastic award winning restaurant available for dinner. It’s a true gem.

Exquisite end to end experience at the Ivy for our second first. We love this hotel for a quick trip that makes you feel like you've really gone away even though it is only 35 minutes from our home. The entire Ivy team is attentive, knowledgeable and welcoming with attention paid to every detail. The lavish breakfast and tea (loved the orange chai scones with honey butter and the beans on toast breakfast) are not to be missed. We are already planning our next visit!

An all-around amazing experience. Felt so cared for thanks to the warm, friendly staff and all of the wonderful amenities. Took advantage of the complimentary car service and it was great (saved me from using Ubers or dealing with parking my car). Secure parking and valet parking is also complimentary (not so with other hotels in the area). Gorgeous decor throughout, and loved hearing the history from Jenelle (who was a very interesting conversationalist). While the rates may seem high, there are so many other wonderful things included in the rate: a delicious breakfast, afternoon tea, a well-curated lobby bar, plus wine, beer, kombucha, snacks, etc in guest room. We are now spoiled forever when it comes to hotels, and will always seek out The Ivy when we return to Baltimore. Truly a hidden gem, in an absolutely beautiful, historic neighborhood. If I could give this place 6 stars instead of 5, I would!

Beautiful historic gem in Baltimore. The hospitality and service at this hotel is top-notch from the time you pull up in your car until checkout. We were greeted at the door with champagne and a short tour of the main floor followed by an easy check in. We enjoyed a truly amazing Spa experience and Tea Service followed by a delicious dinner and breakfast at the connecting restaurant Magdalena’s. Highly recommend The Ivy Hotel!

Our stay was simply amazing. The staff was friendly, professional and accommodating. The hotel and our room were beautiful. The fireplace in our room, heated bathroom floor and towels much appreciated. Loved the open bar. High tea was wonderful. Will be back.
